Fake Shopsy messages and links
Texts using Shopsy mention reseller kits, blocked orders and daily earning offers. See how to tell the app from a lookalike.
Shopsy is Flipkart's shopping app that sells low-priced products, with a seller option for people who resell items. Because many people use it, scammers pretend to be Shopsy in SMS, WhatsApp and email messages. This page lists the lies they usually tell and how to check before you act.
Lines used in fake Shopsy messages
- Shopsy reseller kit ready, pay a registration charge to start earning
- Your Shopsy order is blocked, pay a verification fee
- Earn Rs 1,000 a day by sharing Shopsy products, deposit first
- Shopsy coupon unlocked, share OTP to apply
How to verify it yourself
Orders and refunds are shown in your Shopsy app, and any problem is raised through its help option. Resale programmes of the real app do not ask you to pay a registration charge to a person. Promises of fixed daily earnings are a sign of a task or deposit scam, and groups on chat are not the app's support. An OTP is for your own sign-in or payment, so never read it out to apply a coupon.
Quick checklist
- Do not tap links or call numbers inside the message.
- Open the official app, or type the official website yourself, and look for the same notice.
- Never share an OTP, PIN, CVV or password with anyone, including "staff".
- If money moved, call 1930 and your bank at once.

Questions
How can I tell if a Shopsy message is real?
Do not judge by the sender name or the logo; both can be copied. Open the official Shopsy app or type its website yourself and look for the same notice. Shopsy will not ask for your OTP, PIN or password in a message.
What should I do if I tapped a link in a fake Shopsy message?
Close the page without typing anything. If you entered details, change the password at once from the official app, call your bank or provider using the number on your card or bill, and report at cybercrime.gov.in. If money moved, call 1930.
